Generation of nonparaxial self-accelerating beams using pendant droplets
Qiyue Zhang, Peng Zhang, Huizhong Xu +2
We propose and demonstrate the effectual generation and control of nonparaxial self-accelerating beams by using UV-resin pendant droplets. We show that the geometrical shape of the…
Anisotropic Optical Shock Waves in Isotropic Media with Giant Nonlocal Nonlinearity
Giulia Marcucci, Phillip Cala, Weining Man +3
Dispersive shock waves in thermal optical media belong to the third-order nonlinear phenomena, whose intrinsic irreversibility is described by time asymmetric quantum mechanics. Re…
Photonic band gap in isotropic hyperuniform disordered solids with low dielectric contrast
Weining Man, Marian Florescu, Kazue Matsuyama +7
We report the first experimental demonstration of a TE-polarization photonic band gap (PBG) in a 2D isotropic hyperuniform disordered solid (HUDS) made of dielectric media with a i…
Isotropic Band Gaps and Freeform Waveguides Observed in Hyperuniform Disordered Photonic Solids
Weining Man, Marian Florescu, Eric Paul Williamson +7
Recently, disordered photonic media and random textured surfaces have attracted increasing attention as strong light diffusers with broadband and wide-angle properties. We report t…
Engineered optical nonlinearities and enhanced light transmission in soft-matter systems with tunable polarizabilities
Weining Man, Shima Fardad, Ze Zhang +6
In this work, we demonstrate that the nonlinear response of certain soft-matter systems can be tailored at will by appropriately engineering their optical polarizability. In partic…
